“I don’t want to play [tennis] anymore… You stand too close to me,” Andy Murray’s daughter, Edie, once said. However, things have changed now. As Murray’s tennis ball soared through the air at Wimbledon, one thing became crystal clear: tennis runs deep in the Murray bloodline! After all, he is not the only one invested in his game. In the crowd, there is a tiny but mighty force with the same raw emotions as him. It is none other than his daughter, Edie. Watching his father unfold his usual charm, and echoing his passion, little Edie might just be the torchbearer for her father’s legacy!

Murray’s final Wimbledon campaign has gained more significance for him as his dearest ones are there to witness it live. Among them, the spotlight falls, especially on his wife, Kim, and two daughters, Sophia and Edie. And as Murray hit his racquet with full force along with his brother Jamie in the doubles, fans’ attention turned to a mirror image reaction of the father-daughter duo. Showcasing it through an image, The Tennis Podcast account on X posted a heartwarming collage of the two during the match.

Although the Murray brothers lost the match, they won the hearts of fans worldwide! After all, the similarities in “The Roar” between Andy Murray and his daughter, Edie, brought forth a lesser-known side of the duo, revealing the emotions that go through behind the scenes of an intense match. In the picture, Edie, who was born in 2017, was passionately clapping at his father’s performance with her mouth opened wide, while her mother leaned on to her, also clapping with vigor. The image mimicked Murray’s well-recognized closed-fist expression of aggression, with his face revealing his true emotions through a roar!

As the tennis world saw it, their hearts were heavy as well! After all, we all know that little Eddie is witnessing an unforgettable moment at Wimbledon, a place where his father has ruled and created history! Not only for Eddie, it was a special moment for her father as well. After all, it was all a surprise for him. So, when he saw on TV in his locker room that his wife and children were there in the stands, it added an extra layer of enthusiasm and emotions for him. Fans called it “Like Daughter, like Dad,” moments in the comments of the post, while others stated, “I had just taken a pause in crying, now I’ve seen this.” 

It was extra special for the father-daughter duo as, according to Murray’s previous statements, when he leaves for tours, Eddie does not like it. “When I tell her I’m going away, she gets upset and doesn’t like that I’m going away. She ignores me on FaceTime and stuff when I’m away, which is sad.” Now, Murray will not have this regret anymore as Edie saw him play at one of the biggest platforms of tennis! Interestingly, he also shared a funny story involving his daughter at Wimbledon.

Murray daughter’s daily dealing that may have come in the way of her father’s farewell match

Murray’s family accompanied to only one of his matches this season. Therefore, even if he did not say it out loud, like every player he too wished to perform in front of his family for the last time at Wimbledon. And as his wish came true, he said, “It was nice they managed to make it.” However, there was one catch.

Referring to Edie, the former World No. 1 said, “Yeah, the second kid was struggling I think. It was way past her bedtime. But yeah it was lovely that they were able to come and watch.” Even after the struggles, Edie had her priorities set as he exuded the same energy as his father during the match! And as Murray gradually bids adieu to the tennis world, hopefully, we will see more of such cute similarities between the two!
